twilight by celebrating at the annual
barbeque held at Epworth park.
About fifty barristers enjoyed the out

festivities was the formation of a
parade headed by an improvised band
which proceeded over the main ar

some excitement among the student

the business section of the city, dis
turbing the peace and bringing the
busy workers to their windows.
10 o'clock the crowd boarded a special
electric which conveyed them to the
recreation grounds. .
The morning's fun started when the
freshmen challenged the juniors for
a game, of ball, which resulted in favor
of the latter by a one-sided score.

at the sound of the penitentiary
whistle and the Laws waded through
the delicacies in the same manner they
do Blackstone.
E. J. Burkett Talks
Dr. E. D. Maxey was master of the
noonday ceremonies. Former U.

coming practioners in which he men
tioned a number of legal secrets which
will be valuable to the men In future
practice.
An athletic program was the feature
of the afternoon. The opening even
was a baseball game between a picked
team representing the junior and
senior classes. The "higher-up" sue
ceeded in putting the most runs across

DEPICTS CIRCUMSTANCES
OF EX HUSKER'S DEATH
The' following letter was written to
Mr. Saunders, father of Lieut. Ray
mond Saunders, by Lieut. W. S. Mc-
Clintock, and relates to him the cir
cumstancea under which Lieut. Saun
ders was reported missing.
185th Aero Squadron,
A. P. O. 758, A. E. F.,
March 22, 1919.
Dear Mr. Saunders:
"Am Just in receipt of your letter
which was addressed to the 94th Aero
instead of the 185th so that it went
up into Germany to Raymond's old
squadron and lost much time in being
directed back to me. Raymond was
originally in this squadron but was
transferred to the 94th Just after the
St. Mihiel drive, when they were badly
in need of pursuit pilots. After the
war some of his mail still came to us
and I. remailed the photographs to you
because I knew you would be most
anxious to have them.
"I regret exceedingly that we still
have no news whatever of Raymond's
death and that no record has ever
been found of his grav or plane. He
certainly fell in German territory and
wag buried by the German sir service
which they invariably did. If he were
injured, they would have tenderly
taken him to one of their hospitals
for every attention, for many of our
Pilots who fell and later returned after
the armistice, reported every courtesy
and care by the German officers.
There teemed to be a mutual under

GIRLS TO KEEP CINDER
TRACK HOT SATURDAY
Girls Expect to Shatter Old Rec
ords in Annual Interclass
Tourney.
The girls' annual interclass track
meet will be held Saturday afternoon,
May 10, at two o'clock, on the uni
versity athletic field, under the aus
pices of the Women's Athletic Asso
ciation with Mary Stephens as sport
leader.
The final tryouts for entrance in the
meet will be held this afternoon at 5
o'clock on the athletic field. Every
girl must sign up sometime today on
the poster in the gymnasium, for all
the events she wants to enter and
must appear at this time to tryout for
them.
Nearly fifty girls have already
signed for entrance in the various
events of the meet and the competi
tion for places in the meet will soon
be closed. Some of the co-ed ath
letes are doing some remarkable high
jumping and pole vaulting. The cin
der-path artists are cutting down their
time in every day's practice. In the
meet last spring two girls broke the
former state record in the high jump
and other records will probably be
broken Saturday afternoon.
The entries for the meet will be
published later with the officials and
the events. Everyone who is inter
ested in girls athletics should come
out to Saturday's meet and see the
girls' display of skill.
students of the University who have
dreams of rising to the top in the
world of business. The following ar
ticle which is taken from the Omaha
Daily News gives a vivid picture of
the spectacular rise of this graduate
of our Alma Mater:
"Whatever success I may have had,"
he explained without hesitation, "is
due to the fact that 1 have kept close
to my work and never for a moment
have I lost faith in the future of Om
aha and Nebraska.
"I have kept busy, but don't take it
for granted for a moment that by
merely being busy all the time may
one make the greatest progress In
business or a profession. One cannot
be really successful if one does not
have time to participate in the affairs
of the community as well as in one's
own line of endeavor.
"But in my own case it is due to
the fact that I have kept busy more
than to anything else that I have per
haps been moderately successful."
The Omaha Daily News man, Inter
viewing Mr. Gamble, reflected that to
be the vice-president of the First
National bank at the age of 39, at a
salary in keeping with the traditions
of one of the oldest and largest finan
cial institutions of Nebraska and the
middle west, is being something more
than moderately successful.
"You were without financial assets,
I understand, when you began your
business career?" he suggested.
I had had a good' start. I had the ad
vantage over many men in the fact

YALE VARSITY CREW
TOO MUCH FOR TIGERS
DERBY, Conn. While the victory
of Yale University's varsity eight
over the Princeton varsity crew on
the new Housatonic course of two
miles gave unbounded satisfaction to
many Yale followers and proved that
Prof. M. A. Abbott, Yale8 rowing
coach, had achieved a distinct im

nior crew, since their disappointing
showing against Pennsylvania two
weeks ago, the eight is still untried
over the four-mile distance, which
they must row against Harvard Uni
versity at New London on June 19.
However, the victory has strength
ened the feeling of confidence in Pro
fessor Abbott's ability to pick a win
ning combination from the wealth of
material at hand, so that the task of
Yale's coach will prove easier than
would have been the case had the
varsity lost to Princeton.
Yale's time over the couse, 10 min

seconds better than -that made by the

Yale over the same course one year
ago and 10 3-5 seconds better than
